XanderO

Wow Xander, can't believe that come June you will be able to get a coveted PC Veteran emblem!

Time sure does fly by doesn't it? I only joined around a year later than you so my veteran status will officially be granted in March next year.

hello

The HG/SS announcement and Gen V announcements links aren't active anymore for some reason which is odd.

But you can see by the first post here that Gen V was revealed on Jan 29, 2010: http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f280/new...its-way-52212/

If you check Serebii's archives for that date, he posted it there too.

HG/SS was announced on May 8, 2009: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/game/g090508_01.html but unfortunately the link is inactive too. You can go to archive.org and paste the link in there though, then click any of the dates and it will take you to what the page was. You can do the same with the Gen V announcement too: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/game/g100129_02.html.

<333 Happy New years to you, too!

EVERY YEAR IS THE YEAR OF THE GROVYLE

Yeah, I need to clean my room as well. I lsot my phone and it took me FOREVER to find it because my room. was so messy. I'll probably clean it up a little tomorrow. Oh cool, I have some friends on another site that plat Ragnarok odyssey. Aw, lucky I wish I knew where a copy of my Pokemon Yellow is. I hope that you have fun playing it!

You seem like a nice person. Would you like to be friends?

Hai XanderO! I'm new to this forum and am trying to make some new friends. How has your day been?

'_'; It seems like it'd score easy wins in your meta, because Prophecy is a very passive deck and Lightsworn has no great way to counter the deck's ability to rapidly output damage. Six Samurai cannot deal with GAM, because none of their staple Synchros can fight Heavy Infantry and they just get nuked by the card advantage and point removal the deck has.

Maybe it's your list that's built incorrectly? Are you running Genex Undine and 7-9 Atlanteans (the ones that act as discard fodder)? Are you running Abyss-sphere? (Other Abyss- S/T cards are pretty meh) Are you running 2 Abysspike, 3 Abysslinde, and 2 Abyssmegalo? etc.

What, why is nobody playing Genex Atlantean Mermail? They're top of tier 1 right now ... hyperconsistent and extremely strong. o_o

EDIT: Oh also the level 1 test is actually fairly easy; I took it with some fake info and got 90% (I dunno what mistakes I made though, lol - probably the ones regarding Priority?). It's nowhere nearly as crazy as DN's admin tests... those are actually real terror. I have two DN admin friends (who are also IRL friends), and one of them specializes in making crazy admin tests - here, take a look: Link

(For reference, I scored 7/10 on the first and 6/10 on the second, and this was after an hour of research. They're really hard.)

No, it's not that ... Volcanic Rocket was played as a card that was similar to Stratos in that it was an instant +1 as soon as you summoned it (even if the deck couldn't use Blaze Accelerator that well - and anyway Blaze Accelerator is not that bad as point removal).

Re: Macro - yeah, you can have D. Fissure and Banisher, but the latter is fairly fragile while the former is not as disruptive; and yes, even taking into account that you have six copies of Macro plus a couple Banisher it's still rather weak, because one, the deck functions at sub-par levels unless it has a copy of Macro or pseudo-Macro out, and two, any subsequent copies of Macro or pseudo-Macro once you have the first largely become dead draws, especially in games where your opponent does not care at all about Macro's disruptive nature. I used to play Macro Monarchs a long time ago, and they've always been tier 3 at best, sadly. Because of a mixture of both of the reasons I listed above, Macro has never been and probably will never be a great "enabler" card - unlike something like Gateway of the Six Samurai or Wind-Up Factory, continuous S/Ts which provide great advantage but is not necessary to the function of the deck. (Gates of Dark World / Dark World suffer from a similar dilemma as well but DW do not suffer as much as Macro decks when Macro isn't on the field vs when Gates isn't on the field - Gates is just a constant source of free cards.)

Chaos Dragons are very good right now, and a decent choice; one of my friends really likes the deck. One thing to be noted is that it is basically shut down by a copy of Shock Master which calls "monster effects" - not that it matters, though, since the deck is able to output a huge amount of damage very quickly, and you should be okay as long as you don't get your field cleared away.

Macro Cosmos isn't really a great card to base a deck around ... it's a brutal hate card though, and it's popular being used as such right now.

Hieratics are a combo deck. Did they draw their combo? Do you not have any answers? If the answer to both is "yes", it is basically game (of course there is the off-chance that the opponent doesn't know how to do the combo right, in which case free win).

Volcanics have always been "okay" and people used to really like Rocket's card advantage but the engine fell out of favor sometime between 2009 / 2010 for some reason ... I dunno why.
